Magnesium L-Lysinate

Magnesium L-lysinate, also called magnesium bis-lysinate, is a mineral chelate in which magnesium is bound to two molecules of the essential amino acid L-lysine. Nustras supplies it as a powder and as direct-compression and direct-granulation granular grades, a combined source of the mineral magnesium and of L-lysine for supplements and fortified foods. Magnesium is a major mineral and a cofactor for many enzymes.

Magnesium L-lysinate is formulated into magnesium and multimineral supplements in tablets, capsules and powders, into amino-acid and sports-nutrition products, into nutritional premixes and into functional foods and beverages.

The material is a white to off-white powder or granule. Molecular formula C12H26MgN4O4, molecular weight 314.67. Magnesium is assayed by complexometric titration or ICP and L-lysine by HPLC; the chelate is identified by infrared spectroscopy and the material is standardised to specification. Heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies magnesium L-lysinate in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Magnesium amino-acid chelates are accepted mineral sources in major supplement and food markets; buyers confirm the elemental-magnesium contribution and permitted level for their application.
